Network18 Reports 9.4% Revenue Growth in Q2 Amid Industry Challenges
Network18 Media Investments Ltd reported a 9.4% year-on-year increase in consolidated operating revenue to Rs 545 crore for Q2 FY27, marking its fifth consecutive quarter of growth. The company’s H1 revenue rose nearly 10% to Rs 1,061 crore despite industry challenges including a 13% decline in TV news advertising due to the West Asia conflict, weak monsoon, and a TV ratings blackout. Growth was driven mainly by its content studio and government-linked advertising, while operating EBITDA improved to Rs 19 crore from a prior loss.
